Talk:Build dependencies

• Suggestion: maintain this page and remove the 'dependencies' sections from the respective compile guides.

• about version numbers

If we specify the complete version number (x.y.z) it creates the impression that we actually require this specific version (like the old luabind & g++ trouble). Unless we know about problems this should be just 'qt 4' or 'lua 5' or 1.2.x for SDL.

• removed the depencency stuff and modified this page to match the currently used libs
• I've used the >= approach for version numbers. More feedback if this should be changed to an even more simple approach e.g. SDL 1.2

Copy and paste library list

How about adding a rather simple command list so users of different linux distros could install all needed dependencies in one step? I only know emerge and apt-get but there are surely other package managers around.

There is also yum in Fedora Core (and Red Hat I assume). VovanSim 00:20, 23 May 2007 (CEST)

Building guichan 0.6 with Ubuntu

Perhaps it is a good idea to use dh-make and fakeroot to create *.debs for the installation of guichan.
